The State Council, China's cabinet, has released a guideline to
accelerate the development of a green and low-carbon circular economic
development system. The guideline urges efforts to firmly implement the new development
philosophy, boost efficiency in the use of resources, strengthen
protection of the ecological environment, and effectively control
greenhouse gas emissions. By 2025, China will see a marked rise in the scale of green
industries, a continued drop in major pollutants, and a slashed carbon
emission intensity, according to the guideline. By 2035, energy and resource utilization efficiency in key industries
and for key products is expected to reach an internationally-advanced
level, and the goal to build a beautiful China will be basically
reached, says the guideline. To meet the targets, the document outlines key measures, including
the development of green and low-carbon production, consumption and
circulation systems. China has announced that it will strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
